O'FALLON, Mo. (AP) — A St. Louis-area town is taking a get-tough stance on immigration enforcement.

The Suburban Journals of Greater St. Louis (http://bit.ly/peQE2I) reports that O'Fallon City Council members voted unanimously Thursday to adopt a resolution declaring the St. Charles County town a "Rule of Law" city. That means the city will strictly enforce existing state and federal immigration laws.

The resolution essentially puts O'Fallon in the opposite direction of more than 30 U.S. cities, including Los Angeles, that have declared themselves "sanctuary cities." The sanctuary city declaration prohibits police and city employees from asking people about their immigration status, and denies city funds for use in enforcing federal immigration laws.

The O'Fallon resolution states the city will not hinder or restrict employee communications with federal officials related to the immigration status of individuals. It also directs police to cooperate with state and federal authorities regarding immigration enforcement.

The resolution also states the city will not provide public benefits to illegal immigrants. And it states that O'Fallon will enroll in an electronic verification system to determine if laborers have legal authorization to work in the U.S. Any business with a city contract amounting to more than $5,000 will be required to use the system, and to sign an affidavit stating the business does not knowingly employ an "unauthorized alien."

The sponsors of the measure, councilmen Jim Pepper and Bob Howell, are also sponsoring a bill that would impose fines and license suspensions on businesses caught hiring illegal immigrants. That measure has not yet been introduced.

Goes to show how distorted this issue has become in this country. Simply enforcing the law is now descibed by the MSM as a "get-tough policy."


This is where the illegal invader advocates and their incessant lies and propaganda have resulted in perceptions being skewed in respect to the criminal actions of illegal invaders. This has been part of the plan all along. When a city simply declares they will follow the rule of law, they are characterized as getting "tough" on invaders.

The federal government and illegal alien interest groups keep attacking those cities and states that want to enforce immigration laws, "rule of law" and protect areas from the tens of millions, hundreds of millions, billions in lost dollars to provide for illegal aliens and to deal with illegal immigration in general.

I hope that this city will be successful.
